Are their two versions of Cosmic Green? I am thinking of painting something with that colour and I noticed that a GTI and a GTTD both obviously in "Cosmic" but the GTTD was noticably darker. Are their two similar shades or was that perhaps a respray done too dark?
Thoughts?

With greens there will be a number one shade which is true colour, then a redder shade, a yellower shade and sometimes a blueer shade. Matching when doing a pannel means loads of spray out cards and blend pannels unless you have your exact mix details for your car kept on file

Yeah, I know about the variations but this was so noticably different it could have been a whole different colour. Except the tint was obviously the same as Cosmic. Would work as a scallop colour on a cosmic base...

I think there is a similar colour on the brazilian Market called Rave Green, would be surprised if there was one over here though, unless it was a respray. I don't know which is the darker/lighter one tho
